Installation Manual

Starting and Configuring the Router

I. AUX port

AUX is an RS232 asynchronous serial interface, which can back up a WAN interface and provide dial connection. In case of console failure, AUX can function as a console interface. For the AUX interface attributes, refer to the section “RPU”.

II. AUX cable

AUX cable is an eight-wire shielded cable. At one end of the cable is an RJ-45 connector for connecting the console port on the router. At the other end are DB-9 (male) connector and DB-25 (male) connector. You can plug either of them into the serial port on a modem as needed. The following figure illustrates the AUX cable.

Figure 3-9 AUX cable

III. Connecting the AUX cable

Follow these steps to connect the AUX cable.

Step 1: Plug the RJ-45 connector of the cable into the AUX port on the RPU.

Step 2: Plug the DB-25 or DB-9 connector into the serial port on the analog modem.

When using the AUX interface for remote configuration or dial backup, you need to connect the local modem to the remote modem through PSTN and then to the remote device.

3.10 Verifying Installation

During router installation, you must verify installation each time you power on the router, making sure that:
